Surprised at that engine in a Chevy . Thought it would be a 305 or 350 Chevy with a 700-R4 transmission . There were no BOP overdrive automatics built after 1988 .

Yes, but only the flat tappet, big port engine..Pontiac too.
Olds wagon get either 307. Buick, no big wagons after 1988. Strange mix. Must have been an early 89 combo, with 88 200 4r's. Olds 237 hp engine might make a decent R/SA car, if you like the heavyweights.

The Hydramatic plant that built the 200-4R closed at the end of the 1988 model year . I knew they stock piled enough transmission so they could build the 1989 Pontiac Firebird with the 3.8 L Buick Turbo engine , but I am surprised to hear about the wagon . They must have also stock piled some for the Station Wagons . They were super low production volumes so I guess they built them along with all the service transmissions before they shuttered the plant .
